Monday eBay Roundup (VII)

Hello everyone!

How's your Monday going? Mine is rainy, but full of energy!

At last! I'm so glad we're finally having a Monday Roundup! It's been a long time without proper stuff to review, hasn't it? But today we do have juicy new items for sale, so lets see:

- CREATION ENT YIN YANG CHAKRAM #415

   > Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment

   > Number: 415/500

   > COA: Not mentioned

   > Seller: barniebarrel

   > Price: $189.95 plus shipping

   > Opinion: This is odd. It's not the first time we see #415 around here, I reviewed it some weeks ago (as you can check here). Only now the seller is different, and the aspect of the chakram too! If you compare both photos (the one above these lines and the one in my previous post) you can clearly see all the weathering has disappeared. It surely does look as if someone has repainted the piece again, but hasn't done the rust/dirt effects. Maybe that's why it's selling much cheaper now.

- CREATION ENT ORIGINAL CHAKRAM #381

   > Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment

   > Number: 381/500

   > COA: Included

   > Seller: barniebarrel

   > Price: $595 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Though the listing says this is number 415 as well, I believe it's a typo and the real number is 381. If that's true, then here again we have an old acquaintance of ours. Number 381 was seen the same week than the Y&Y chakram, and it's logical to think that this new seller acquired both at the same time. Again, it's selling much cheaper, though this one looks unaltered.

- XENA'S SIGNATURE COSTUME FOLDER

   > Character: Xena

   > Papers: Not mentioned

   > Seller: shed11costumehouse

   > Price: $100 plus shipping 

   > Opinion: Shed11costumehouse keeps listing VERY interesting production pieces. This time, a "clear file folder with with assorted costume information" about Xena's iconic main costume. Judging from the pics, I'd say it includes some info on Hercules's costume too. Really interesting.

- XENA'S COSTUME LEATHER FOR ARMBAND

   > Character: Xena

   > Papers: Not mentioned

   > Seller: shed11costumehouse

   > Price: $100 plus shipping 

   > Opinion: This one is what appears to be the remnants of a Xena armband, though the copper is missing and only the leather remains. The piece was complete once, that's for sure, as the negative print of the copper is still visible over the leather's surface. The listing says this armband was donned by a a double named Cindy. Not so interesting as the previous item (at least for me) but I'm sure some people will see it some value as a relic.

- XENA'S COSTUME CORSET PATTERN

   > Character: Xena

   > Papers: Not mentioned

   > Seller: shed11costumehouse

   > Price: $100 plus shipping 

   > Opinion: Who doesn't love costume patterns? These are the 16 cardboard pieces that comprise the corset (meaning S5 or S6 only) of Xena's acrobatic double. Zoe Bell's name is written on several pieces, so I think it's safe to assume this was for her costume. Very cool, as Zoe was fantastic and I think all Xenites love her! A great opportunity for you all, costume makers!

- XENA'S GAUNTLET PATTERN & LEATHER BASE

   > Character: Xena

   > Papers: Not mentioned

   > Seller: shed11costumehouse

   > Price: $100 plus shipping 

   > Opinion: This final item is the one I find most fascinating! This set was supposed to become a gauntlet, but never did. However, it includes all pieces necessary (except for the copper, as far as I can tell). This can be used to make new gauntlets, or to keep as it is, as a nice reminder of the series. Either way, it's a fantastic piece and a good treasure for any collector.
